Bottle from Vine King, Weybridge. Imperial @ 6.8% LOLZ. Aroma of booze and dried fruit. Opaque cola brown. No head. Medium-heavy bitter. Some underlying liqourice sweetness appears. Boozy vinous sour edge. Almost tannin..Light-medium bodied. A tad creamy. Average carbonation. Astringent finish. From memory I think the original Stout is quite basic and workmanlike. It's therefore taken on flavour from.the aging but that almost overpowers the Stout itself. for 6.8% seems more boozy than it actually is.

Many thanks to Mark! Smooth mild sour beginning. Wood and deep intense malt. Fruity with red berries together dry intense malt. Roast and fruit, moderate bitter with a nice sourness in the end. Interesting with hints of woody whisky in the finish.
